The Washington football team plays the Philadelphia Eagles tonight on Monday Night Football and someone special is in the house: Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin. While that news is pretty cool, this tidbit may blow your mind: Ovi was tailgating with fans before the game started. Name one MVP from any other sport that would do this.

Wearing a Robert Griffin III jersey and a matching red hat with his own personal logo, Ovechkin was captured by multiple Twitter’ers mingling in the FedEx Field parking lot before heading inside for the game. Despite celebrating his two-year anniversary today, fiancée Maria Kirilenko was not there with him.
